Interagency Ecological Program of the San Francisco Bay/Delta Estuary, Management, Analysis and Synthesis Team (MAST).mmonia in the form of ammonium may also constitute a significant threat to the delta smelt. Additional potential threats include predation, entrainment into power plants, contaminants and small population size.
1 Place pork loin in brine mixture and refrigerate for 8 to 10 hours. 2  Remove pork from brine, pat dry, and season all sides with salt and black pepper. 3  Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).4  Heat vegetable oil in an oven-proof skillet over high heat. 5  Cook pork, turning to brown each side, about 10 minutes total.
